<br>
it means a block is not properly terminated.<br>
<br>
In this case there is a 'do loop' but no 'end do'<br>
<br>
do it = 0,ntimes-1,2 ; TIME LOOP<br>
<br>
end do ; end 'it' loop<br>
<br>
I would also suggest replacing<br>
<br>
wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","wrf_gsn")<br>
<br>
with<br>
<br>
wks = gsn_open_wks("ps","wrf_gsn_"+sprinti("%0.2i", it))<br>
